Extra password for certain maps within Dropbox

[hetfaireoosten]

Hi!

I work at my office with several employees, they do work on my computer and in my Dropbox so now and then. Since I don't want them to be able to open/ see all maps, I'd very much like to be able to secure certain maps with another password.
So I never have to worry when I am out.

Is this possible? I would think it is! Hope so...

Cheers and thanks,

No it isnt.

Secure the computer itself rather than relying upon a third party syncing tool to do it.

Hi Mark,

That's a real pitty. like said: I do need to share this computer with colleagues, and it would be all ok if I could only extra-secure/ prtoect just a few maps on their own. Would this be something DropBox would like to look at to develop or is it a waste of time?

Its a waste of time - they've always said this.

Dropbox is simply not intended, or designed, to be used on shared devices without even the simplest of security precautions in place (e.g. user accounts).
